Stats Perform Signs Deal with Eintracht Frankfurt

Stats Perform has announced an agreement with Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt, who will be utilising the ProVision platform to support its international recruitment operation.
Having secured European qualification as a result of a fifth-placed league finish in 2020/21, Eintracht Frankfurt is embarking on a new era following the summer appointments of Markus Krösche and Oliver Glasner as Sporting CEO and Head Coach respectively. The new club leadership is looking to technology to give their club a competitive edge.
The club’s scouting department will be using ProVision to monitor key recruitment competitions, both domestically and overseas. ProVision will empower Eintracht’s team of data analysts to undertake detailed data profiling of prospects, across multiple recruitment markets, through the deep interrogation of Opta event data and advanced Opta Analytics insights.
“ProVision will be of great value to us in supporting the execution of our short, medium and long-term player recruitment strategies. The solution will allow us to undertake in-depth analysis of players, using data to identify performance trends, in line with our key recruitment criteria. Consequently, ProVision is a very good addition to our existing scouting structures,” Markus Krösche, Sporting CEO at Eintracht Frankfurt, said
Using hundreds of different data filters, Eintracht’s analysts will have the ability to build personalised reports and metrics, allowing them to analyse and compare recruitment targets in line with role-specific KPIs across different areas of the pitch. In addition, the analysts will be able to cross-reference their analytical insights with integrated video, as well as connect to an API to pull data directly from its ProVision reports straight into coding platforms, to streamline offline workflows.
“We are delighted to be able to support the existing processes in place within Eintracht Frankfurt’s scouting department by providing them with access to ProVision. We are passionate about helping clubs optimise their day-to-day operations and by providing a tool which allows recruitment analysts to interrogate hundreds of different Opta events and qualifiers, we can help Eintracht attain new insights into the underlying performance of recruitment prospects across key markets,” Stephan Hanke, Vice President of Sales in Europe at Stats Perform, said.

The 8th AskGamblers Awards Officially Enters the Voting Stage

AskGamblers has announced that the final voting stage of the 8th annual AskGamblers Awards has started.
The voting phase kicked off on 28 April, and will last until the award ceremony scheduled for 12 June.
As in previous editions of the Awards, players can cast their votes for one of the top 10 finalists in the following categories: Best Casino, Best New Casino, Best Sportsbook, Best New Slot and Best Software Provider.
The Best Crypto Casino, Best Partner and Best Manager categories will traditionally be chosen by the AskGamblers team. This year’s edition introduces a new category, the Superstar Award, a crown achievement handed out to one operator that best represents the values of brands, whose laureate will also be chosen solely by AskGamblers.
Another novelty in this year’s Awards cycle is the Forum vote: the votes from the members of AskGamblers Forum will be counted towards the final tally of votes as a separate voting tier.
Commenting on the launch of the 8th AskGamblers Awards voting stage, Dijana Radunović, General Manager at AskGamblers, said: “Now that we have the finalists, we are entering the final stages of preparation for our biggest night of the year. To say that we are excited about the 8th edition of the AskGamblers Award would be an understatement.”
“As everybody in the team is working tirelessly to make the gala ceremony a night to remember, we invite our players to do their bidding: to give a vote to their favourite contestants and help us choose the rightful winners in the five categories that are open to public vote,” Radunović added.
Before the award ceremony on 12 June, AskGamblers will host the traditional Charity Night on 11 June, where the partners will bid for positions on the website, with the money raised allocated to a humanitarian cause.

Flexion Reports Revenue Increase of 9% for 2024

Flexion, the games marketing company, has announced that its revenue grew 9% to year-end December 2024. The growth is attributed to the Company’s success in the alternative app store market.
Since its IPO in 2018, the company has built a well-positioned games marketing business around the alternative stores and grown annual revenue 50-fold to almost US$100 million. Its game portfolio represents several billion US$ in gaming IP for alternative market partners like Samsung, Amazon, Huawei, OneStore and Xiaomi.
“With the Digital Markets Act (DMA) coming into force in Europe and recent legal actions in the US, mobile game developers have felt a new-found freedom to explore their market options. We’ve already moved beyond the era when Google and Apple controlled everything. Developers are looking for alternatives that offer better margins, and additional audiences and revenue. Partnering with Flexion opens up a range of market channels with very little up-front investment,” said Jens Lauritzson, CEO of Flexion.
Flexion currently distributes more than 30 high-profile titles on the alternative stores. Top-tier games in the Flexion portfolio make on average US$ 10 million a year based on Q4 2024 run rate. That’s income in addition to their Google and Apple revenue with a business model that adds little to their costs.
In Q4 2024, Flexion-serviced games were, on average, generating 9.3% through the alternative stores of the revenue they made on Google Play. This is a significant boost for Flexion’s partners without major costs or effort.
“If you scale for the size of the stores, the alternatives massively out-performed Google in Q4 for our games. This is exciting both for Flexion’s business and for the future of the games industry as a whole. We’re seeing the beginning of a sea change in games marketing,” Jens said.
“We’re seeing just the beginnings of a major shift in how top-tier developers address their markets. Using Flexion to access alternative stores is an easy first step into the post- Google and Apple world. Many developers are already looking at their options beyond that and Flexion will be right there with them providing the technology and expertise they need to maximise the potential of their games,” Jens added.
